To our readers

August 31, 2011

The Tribune has determined that a letter in Sunday's Voice of the People section, bearing the signature of a Skokie reader, in fact had been plagiarized from an Aug. 22 CNN.com column by author and former White House staffer David Frum. The person who submitted the letter has told editors the plagiarism was unintentional and a mistake, one for which he is sorry. He said he believes he was collecting comments from Internet articles and was sloppy in his note-taking. The Tribune apologizes to our readers and to both CNN.com and Frum.
